out districts of the county, and now,

i'riday afternoon.
To All the Voters of l^orain County:
We wish to call your attention to
the repair and maintenance of the
' oiinty roads which serve .is main arteries of the county's commercial life
und without which it would be impos
sible to get from the rural districts to
the more centralized localities, or to
get provisions und necessities from
t*iit' locality to another, except at great
cost and delay.
Owing to the small umount ot mon-
•■>• in the county's repair fund prior
to 191ft. the county roads were not
kept in repair und many good roads
'hat had been well constructed but
with little or no repairs had deteriorated until they were practically* im
passable. some roads having been
built ten years, or longer, und not u ,
ilollur's worth of maintenance or repair mude on them.
The one-mill levy thot was voted In
1(19 for tht_,repuli of rouds wus not
available until 11)20 and 1921, bo il was
not until this year that you cun really
see results.
With the assistance of stute and fed
i ral uid, the county this yeur hus built
to stute standard mid acceptance over
sixteen miles of llrst class rouds; they
huve penetrated mstt rebuilt over fourteen miles of old roads that were almost impassable, .'.nil huve surfuce-
t routed and repaired over forty miles
of roucl. Thus, over seventy miles of
rouds of the county, und utmost un
equal amount of miles of state roads.
In this county, huve been put in first-
cluss condition.
The rouds thut were surface-treated
were reully saved from destruction, or
given first aid. without which they
would not huve lived or lusted the
winter through, which with proper at
tentlon und following up they will lu
the course of a f£w years be first-
class' rouds.
There ig a wuy in some of the townships whereby they could bond, and
thus repair their rouds. but this method'is not looked upon with favor for
the reaesoii thut in u few years the
interest on the bonds umount to us
much us the original investment, and
yOU huve nothing to show for same.
Therefore, the most reasonable way
appears to be "to puy us you go" and
get value received for every dollar
expended, Recalilug the old saying
that "A stitch 'in time saves nine" was
never better illustrated than In the
..laiiitenuuce and repair of the county
roads, and unless they are properly
maintained and repaired thtfy will
•Urely go to ruin in a few short years;
whereas, if properly constructed and
maintained they will last for ages.
So, do not full to vole for the one
mill levy for road repair at the No
, ruber election. ,
Supt F K. Powers will have charge
of the i hupel exercise* which will be
held in the high school auditorium tomorrow morning. He has secured

To All the Voters of l^orain County:
We wish to call your attention to
the repair and maintenance of the
' oiinty roads which serve .is main arteries of the county's commercial life
und without which it would be impos
sible to get from the rural districts to
the more centralized localities, or to
get provisions und necessities from
t*iit' locality to another, except at great
cost and delay.
Owing to the small umount ot mon-
•■>• in the county's repair fund prior
to 191ft. the county roads were not
kept in repair und many good roads
'hat had been well constructed but
with little or no repairs had deteriorated until they were practically* im
passable. some roads having been
built ten years, or longer, und not u ,
ilollur's worth of maintenance or repair mude on them.
The one-mill levy thot was voted In
1(19 for tht_,repuli of rouds wus not
available until 11)20 and 1921, bo il was
not until this year that you cun really
see results.
With the assistance of stute and fed
i ral uid, the county this yeur hus built
to stute standard mid acceptance over
sixteen miles of llrst class rouds; they
huve penetrated mstt rebuilt over fourteen miles of old roads that were almost impassable, .'.nil huve surfuce-
t routed and repaired over forty miles
of roucl. Thus, over seventy miles of
rouds of the county, und utmost un
equal amount of miles of state roads.
In this county, huve been put in first-
cluss condition.
The rouds thut were surface-treated
were reully saved from destruction, or
given first aid. without which they
would not huve lived or lusted the
winter through, which with proper at
tentlon und following up they will lu
the course of a f£w years be first-
class' rouds.
There ig a wuy in some of the townships whereby they could bond, and
thus repair their rouds. but this method'is not looked upon with favor for
the reaesoii thut in u few years the
interest on the bonds umount to us
much us the original investment, and
yOU huve nothing to show for same.
Therefore, the most reasonable way
appears to be "to puy us you go" and
get value received for every dollar
expended, Recalilug the old saying
that "A stitch 'in time saves nine" was
never better illustrated than In the
..laiiitenuuce and repair of the county
roads, and unless they are properly
maintained and repaired thtfy will
•Urely go to ruin in a few short years;
whereas, if properly constructed and
maintained they will last for ages.
So, do not full to vole for the one
mill levy for road repair at the No
, ruber election. ,
Supt F K. Powers will have charge
of the i hupel exercise* which will be
held in the high school auditorium tomorrow morning. He has secured
